We have been waiting over a year to post photos of our wedding. It was really hard to keep a secret. Well, the Martha Stewart Weddings summer issue is soon to be out with our wedding. The photo gallery is here.
We have such fond memories of the day and I was happy to be able to add so many craft and handmade touches. It really was a special day. More photos here. Our photographer was Jacob Pritchard who did such an amazing job.
Once Wed did a nice post on the wedding too!
We had a nature theme and got married in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. I love the woodland scenery. Gerald Menke (pictured below) played solo during the ceremony the band The Dixons played old time country music at the reception.
I made my bouquet out of silk butterflies, some of which I repainted in coordinating colors. Hannah Milman made the bridesmaids bouquets from scented geraniums, daisies, sweet pea and other flowers.
We rode away on white bikes complete with "Just Married" flags. Ben
worked so hard on finding just the right bikes. We then rode all the
way home through Brooklyn with people cheering for us the whole way. It
was magical.
Amazing! It would be hard to keep this a secret for so long. It really reflects your personality.
